netscape-communicator-4.75 Netscape ver 4 communicator web-surfboard
netscape-remote-1.0 Utility to pass commands to running netscape process
netscape-wrapper-2000.07.07 Netscape wrapper to avoid multiple invocation and more

>Description:

	Netscape stops responding to keyboard / refresh / mouse / focus or
	window destroy and enter a busy loop.  This usually happens within
	a hour of use, though I have had it occur within 30 seconds.  The
	only recover is to kill the process.

	Unfortunately gdb does not like the executable so the backtrace is
	not as helpful as it could be when you attach to the process.
